Tennis Legend Martina Navratilova Joins “Dancing with the Stars” Cast

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova, winner of 59 Grand Slam titles, a record 9 Wimbledon singles championships, and an unrivaled 344 tournament victories, is the latest athlete to waltz onto Dancing with the Stars.

The 55-year-old Navratilova is the only player in history to win Grand Slam titles in four different decades, including a curtain-closing U.S. Open victory in mixed-doubles at age 49. She’s an inspiration who shattered numerous records with her amazing left-handed serve. Two years ago, Navratilova battled and beat breast cancer and is now a spokeswoman for breast cancer awareness along with a commentator for the Tennis Channel.

Navratilova’s professional partner on DWTS, which premieres on ABC on Monday, March 19th 8 p.m. ET, is Tony Dovolani who danced with Chynna Phillips last season.
